adminAT the same event, St Faith’s school head, Moses Mukoyi, emphatically won the ballot for NASH secretary general again. In a victory normally described in political election triumphs as ‘landslide’, Mukoyi garnered 889 votes against 184. Indeed thumping all runners up! But why is Mukoyi the irreplaceable favourite? He is a role model as a schoolhead. His school attracts jealous and envy . . . in every sense. He leads a school which stubbornly refuses to be second to any in Zimbabwe, especially in their ‘A’ level examination results. Mukoyi is a pedigree Literature teacher. A few years ago he won best Literature teacher award in Makoni. This writer knows him very well. He could easily be the best teacher anywhere.
Mukoyi is competent and confident in everything he does. He is down-to-earth, yet very intelligent and calculating. He and many others too, will think his trumpet is overblown. It is not. We are tired of telling people how good, big, sweet and useful they are at their funeral.
Mukoyi deserves every accolade and success as a scholar and school head. He only disappoints this writer and intellectual admirer for not writing literature masterpieces and publishing them. Yet I know how difficult it is when you are busy putting bread on the table. While writing can be obsessively fascinating, publishing in Zim, ask me, is a debilitating uphill.
You have done everything else well sir, please write and publish stories even if you can’t. May I also write about your visit in America and someone who spotted and acknowledged your magic as a writer? For some reason I believe you can be a better celebrity as a writer than being a school head and NASH secretary general put together.
